Profile Picture

Nathan has a terrible day at school, but weird Abigail, who never talked to anyone and sat at the table of the doomed, tells Nathan about a formula her uncle created called Hurt-Be-Gone. It was supposed to make you have no bad feelings and no worries, but everything went totally wrong, when he gets splashed with Hurt-Be-Gone, and Abigail's uncle gets arrested. A few days later, Nathan notices he can't get hurt, he can't get hungry or digest his food, or run out of breath. Nathan, Abigail, and his friend Mookie, are on their own to try to find a cure for Nathan.
